Answer:

There are 96 large tents and 60 small tents

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the number of tents of each sizes there

Let the number of 6-boys tent be s and the number of 4-boys tent be f

6s + 4f = 816 ••••••(i)

Ratio of large to small ( ratio of s to f)

8:5 = s/f

8/5 = s/f

8f = 5s

f = 5s/8 ••••(ii)

Substitute ii into i

6s + 4(5s/8) = 816

6s + 5s/2 = 816

Multiply through by 2

12s + 5s = 1,632

17s = 1632

s = 1632/17

s = 96

f = 5s/8

f = (5 * 96)/8 = 60

Vika [28.1K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the readable scores are:

100, 82, 95, __ , 90, 81, 75, 83, __

We know the mean (or average) is 85, so:

85 = (100 + 82 + 95 + x + 90 + 81 + 75 + 83 + y) / 9

765 = 606 + x + y

159 = x + y

We know the lowest score is 75, so x and y must be at least 76.  Possible answers are:

76 and 83

77 and 82

78 and 81

79 and 80

80 and 79

81 and 78

82 and 77

83 and 76

Graph a line that contains the point (3,-6) and has a slope of -1/2
djyliett [7]
If I were you, I would make the starting point (3,-6). From there, you will want to use the slope of -1/2 (go down 1 unit and to the right 2 units and draw a point)
